Lunch Made Easy: Peace, Love, & Happiness

It's a groovy kind of lunch for Wednesday:

Lunch Made Easy: Flower Bagel Bites

Well, I only got home about 45 minutes ago from a long day of travel for work. In that time managed to make two lunches, nibble on some leftover dinner, and put on my pajamas. Now here I sit blogging and then to button up some loose ends for work..that 3am alarm is going to be here before I blink! Good thing I operate well on very little sleep. :)  

Lunch Made Easy: Love our Earth!

Some of you may know that Earth Day is this Sunday (April 22nd).  We should celebrate our love for our planet every day by taking better care of her!! :)

Lunch Made Easy: Valentine's Club

We have a fun week this week ~ Valentine's Day Tuesday and the fella has his birthday on Wednesday. An expensive time of year for this mama ($$ eek!) but an awesome week full of love and laughter with two important dates tied into it!

Lunch Made Easy: Colorful Hearts

Last lunch of the week for us :) Make sure you check back over the next week, I'm going to have some great autoposts setup featuring some of my favorite bento bloggers and their work!!

Lunch Made Easy: Hearts-A-Plenty

Ahh, back to the love, lol <3
Can ya feel IT?! ;)

Lunch Made Easy: I Heart You.

Hooray for Friday! <3

It might seem early to start on the heartsy type lunches, but I don't care :-P lol
I bought some heart & Valentine's themed goodies from Target and couldn't wait to use them.

Lunch Made Easy: One for me and one for you!

Time to get back on the bandwagon... Little Miss and I have been eating way too  many sweets over the holidays. I still make sure her meals are balanced, but this Mama hasn't been doing a good job of sticking to my own regimen.

Food for Thought: Banana Strawberry Orange Muffins

Candy Girl over at BentOnBetterLunches said it best "How I LOVE muffins, it's so easy to sneak in extra goodness, and the sproutlets just see them as little cakes!" Mama sees it that way too. ;)

After what seems like waaaaay too many holiday treats, cookies, cakes, etc this recipe sounded like the PERFECT thing to make today. Mmm...

Lunch Made Easy: Hello Kitty & the ELB

Last night I was so happy to hear that big brown UPS truck pull infront of my house. I knew exactly what it was - My new Easy Lunchboxes! Even though to Little Miss, the only difference she'll notice is the fun lid colors, I like how much thicker they are than my disposables. Plus they're also dishwasher, microwave, and freezer safe - Win!

I also realized this morning I had not had a Hello Kitty appearance in quite sometime (that is just unacceptable, especially considering how much Little Miss LOVES her).

Lunch Made Easy: First of November

No catchy title today, sorry! ;)
It was kind of nice making Little Miss's lunch... I've been making Halloweeny ones for the past two weeks so it was nice to get back to basics for a day.

Lunch Made Easy: We are all made of Stars

Since I made Little Miss her lunch today, I've had the Moby song "We are all made of stars" stuck in my head, lol (thus the title). I realized I hadn't used my star sandwich cutter in a while so why not today then!

Lunch Made Easy: What's for Lunch Wednesday?

What's for Lunch Wednesday? I'll show you mine if you show me yours! ;)
No, really, show me!... lol... here: at BentoLunch.net
Every Wednesday she has "What's for Lunch Wednesday?" You can link up pictures of your lunches from the week or view others for inspiration! So clever. I love participating.

Lunch Made Easy: Just Another Manic Monday...

Monday morning... ick.

Thoughts:
1) Monday's are historically busy at my office - *fingers crossed* the day goes fast!
2) I only have to drag myself out of bed four more times before it's the weekend again.
3) Eight more school days left this year for my Little Miss. Two of them are half days.
4) Um... that's all the positivity I can think of right now. lol

Lunch Made Easy: Bento Inspiration has begun...

My sister has gotten me hooked and completely interested in Bento lunches.
The art and the practicality! I need to build my supplies up... and now with the school year ending, I might as well wait until it begin again in the fall before I really splurge. :)
That being said, I plan on placing an order for a few things after the weekend. SO EXCITED!

Below I'm not only going to post her lunch from today, again utilizing the recycled strawberry container she now loves (LOL) but also a Bento inspired dinner I made for her the other night.

Lunch Made Easy: Recycling Strawberry Containers

This is a cute idea for recycling those plastic strawberry containers!
Not only that - if your kids lose or forget it at school, no biggy... I buy strawberries every week. lol :)
